“Garden on Lake Thun” is a watercolor painting by August Macke, created within the Orphism art movement. The artwork demonstrates a landscape genre and measures 22.6 x 28.7 cm.
The artwork conveys a vivid, abstract portrayal of a garden scene by Lake Thun. A symphony of colorful, geometric forms and overlapping planes, typical of Orphism, is employed to render the natural elements such as foliage and plant life. Bold hues of yellow, green, red, and blue interplay dynamically, invoking a sense of harmony and rhythm in the composition. The painting’s fragmented yet cohesive style suggests a vibrant and lively atmosphere, effectively capturing the essence of the natural landscape through a modernist lens.
